"Beverly Ann Goodman, the mother of Nile Rodgers, the music icon who was a founding member of Chic, has died.


Rodgers announced his mother’s death on Twitter, saying she had passed away around 6 a.m. Dec. 27., 2020.



“I breathed some of my 1st breaths with her and she breathed some of her last with me,” he wrote. “My brothers and I will contact everyone soon. Today I’m numb.”


A few days earlier, on Dec. 23, Rodgers had tweeted a two-year-old video of himself and his mother and wrote, “the saddest part of this COVID holiday is not being able to visit my mom. She’s always happy and entertaining, even (with) late-stage Alzheimer’s.”


Goodman, 82, died in Las Vegas from complications of late-stage Alzheimer’s disease, according to Nile Rodgers. She had lived in Las Vegas since 1995, having moved here to be closer to family."

God bless Nile and his Mom, I feel his pain. Lost my Mom in October 2021. I don't think I'll ever fully process it.

'And one day, without calling ahead, I found myself standing at Joe Louis's door. A woman answered the door, seemed startled for a moment, and then said in surprise, 'Oh, Mr Schmeling! Please come in!'



She told me that Joe unfortunately was not at home but out playing golf, and that she would call him right away. But Joe was already on his way home. I had only waited a few minutes when the front door opened. I heard her speak to him and then he was standing before me. For a few moments he stood there as if he had grown roots. Then he dropped his golf bag and rushed over to me. 'Max! How good to see you again!'



As we sat over a coffee a little later I brought up how people had, since our first meeting, tried to turn opponents into enemies. 'I just want you to know...,' I began, but he cut me off immediately: 'Forget all that stuff!' He said. 'For a long time people tried the same thing with me. There were times when I believed what they wrote. But today I know better.' I sensed that he wasn't just saying that.



We sat there together for hours, until late in the evening, talking about the great fights and the old friends. And it was only then that I realized how much it had bothered me over the years that the hatreds of the times had managed to separate us.'

Seen from about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles), Earth appears as a tiny dot within deep space: the blueish-white speck almost halfway up the rightmost band of light.
